    Equally, if we go to park the bus and ultimately concede the first goal, the gameplan goes out the window. He needs to find the right balance but I can only see us going there to sit back and look for a 0-0 sadly.

    Luton at home last season?

    Nah, not for me think they allowed us to have the ball.

    Wasn't a high press.

    It could, but I would hope we at least have the same players who played in the Morecombe game available (hopefully more) if we go a goal down we can revert to a different system possibly 4-4-2.
    There is one thing for sure Gary Bowyer's starting line up/formation will NOT be going gung-ho I think most City fans acknowledge that.

    We absolutely battered them in the first 30 minutes, they couldn't get near the ball

    Away from home, highly surprised if Bowyer does anything other than setting up a team not to lose!

    Against a Swindon or a Crewe I don't mind a 5-2-1-2

    It's against teams like LO,Morecombe etc that we should be looking to beat with was then surely a 4-4-2 works better as shown for 30 mins last Saturday.

    Bowyer doesn't help himself but today is a test and one I expect him to pass.

    They'd the best chance in the first 30 mins and should of gone 1-0 up.

    Lets just say I'm glad I'm watching it on the TV rather than being there, those traveling deserve a medal after recent performances.

    IF 3 - 0 counts as a battering, best result this season so far was against Oldham in August.

    And we only got on top in that game after they had a man sent off.

    I honestly thought after Carlisle and the fans kicking off at Bowyer that against Morecombe we would of been more attacking.

    For me it highlights once again the lack of footballing men at the club because Bowyer needs telling.

    Today is different... it's solely about the 3 points! We need to slow Swindon down and make sure the gap doesn't get bigger.

    It's sad though that fans are not looking forward to going to games.

    We had 17 shots in the first 25 minutes, including hitting the post, and a several corners. If you attack so much you might get caught on the counter but the point still stands we went out to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK as the post you responded to put it. That was 4 games ago, not last season at some point
